I used to be a car salesman so here are a few insider secrets. Rule 1: Always drive the car first and drive as smoothly as possible, if the customer gets first go then they are likely to make some errors due to differences in gearboxes/brakes/controls/driving position etc. If they have already experienced the car at it's best they blame themselves for not being used to it, otherwise you start to hear "I don't like this gearbox", "The brakes are too sharp" etc.
Rule 2: Plan your route. The outward journey (when you are driving) should be slightly uphill if possible so that when the customer is driving back downhill the car feels faster than it actually is. Also make sure that the return route is as easy as possible - no complicated junctions etc. There's a lot more I could tell you, but I'd risk a contract being put on my head for breaking the salesmans vows...
